1975 Torino Central Florida - Parts

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everyone glad to be part of the group! My son and I are working on his classic car, a 1975 Gran Torino. We are working through 3 key items right now. Rear bumper which is really badly rusted. We've got a new bumper and brace, but the brackets that the brace mounts to on his car is badly rusted. Wondering if there is something I can do to replace them other than scouring around junk yards?
Next for us is brakes and bushings... lots of bushings 

Thanks again for this group and patience when newbies like my son and I ask a question that's been answered 100 times ha. We'll do our best to search first!

	Trust me..... we don’t mind answering a million questions when people are actually asking to legitimately learn. Many of us here are teachers or former teachers——- answering a million questions, or answering one question a million time is what we do every day. Dave Fox
